Now that i had finish the game i will give you specifics reasons why indeed deserve a 0 and i'm going to compare with other Subvert expectation games and explain what's going on here .

    Remember Mgs2 Sons of liberty were the tank mission is playable by Solid Snake. Kojima mislead the audience by pretending the whole journey was from Solid Snake Perspective. It was a marketing stunt. After the First Mission the game changes to Raiden and the script kicks out . What happen here in my perspective is that I let the game flow for what it's before jumping to conclusions. What i got was an incredible 4 wall breaking experience giving context to the rookie character as the protocol for Solid Snake Simulation. Side characters works, the Dialogues are outstanding and you even have the chance to fight alongside the legend solid snake. The character is respected in every single way to the point of being him the one giving the last words until the credits role and of course he lives. The fanbase was still divided but after many years the groundbreaking story is still a substantial point of how to subvert expectation properly.

    Now compare this to the last of us 2: Joel an iconic character arm with knowledge and experience in survival for 25 years all the sudden forgot about to survive in an apocalyptic environment and the script which is all over the place butcher the man in less than 20 minutes on screen. 5 as playable character and 15 until he lied death.
    The game forced you to play with the killer and the director tried to hard making her character human or feel sympathy with the player. This doesn't work so the player grab hopes that the ending fill this whole by at least complete the goal of the story which was revenge. This is portrayed as ellie hunt every single member of the screw but throw everything away by letting the killer alive into a nihilistic ending. So you have an iconic character death for nothing. You forced the player to accept his presence as flashbacks and send the entire weak script to the sky by thinking the message is more important than character progression and cohesive storytelling layers.

    it's a story that don't give you anything . Throw away every feeling you got toward this characters and pretend to deliver a message within all the violence. There is no more be said and no reason to discuss any Agenda or feminist frequency ideologies Druckman loves so much. Instead of been a love letter to the fans it become a tool for divide gamers and send them into a depressing journey without conclusion.

    This game deserve a 0 because what it does is nothing more than inflict damage to our society and to the few places humans had to shield themselves from reality. Video games    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Loved the first one with this I really have some issues
    Pro: good looking graphics, the world and characters look just awsome, some really gross moments (even for me as a video gamer verteran), still some hints of a good story design....
    Contra: .... which could have been good if they did it like in TLOU1 where you WERE Joel i mean they just nailed it in this part you were so invested in the charakters Ellie&Joel especially that you just wanted to get them through the story and survive and even at the end (I wont spoil) which was debatable I was very excited and happy/adrenaline fuelled. But the Story in TLOU2 oh man... i dont even know where to start so Ellie is mad at Joel for the end of the first one which for me is kinda fkn **** he just saved her life period. (Spoiler) Killing Joel in the second half is not too bad of an idea if they did it correct but it was just so underwealmingly bad written, even more after that you had to play his killer to see her side of the story i mean like come on thats the least thing i want to do i just want revenge. Even more of a thing that bothers me is the end which denies you as a player the revenge Ellie just decides like "nope I m not gonna avenge the person that was like a father to me" but killing everybody else on this journey to revenge was ok ? Jesus what a letdown. I really expected better writing of naughty dog.    … Expand

    The whole dreadful, depressing, infuriating, cut-scene heavy reality slaps you full-on.

    You'd think after a 7 year lag, you'd get a more substantive experience, however in this case you'd be wrong. In a game where you're forced to act as despicably as possible only to get lectured and shamed for it later on, the most obvious gun we come across is Chekhov's Gun. You can't build something up for 20+ hours of gameplay and then not bother to pay it off--that's Chekhov's Gun Apparently in these past 7 years full of crunch, fired employees, Take Down notices, Simpering "critics" and general angst, Neil Druckman has forgotten how to tell a story.

    A washed out, plot-hole riddled corpse of game that killed all the good of the first outing, and did it with a grimaced smirk.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Imagine this situation. Suppose you are a fan of the Witcher game (I deliberately chose a game of approximately equal cult status), and the publisher showed you a trailer with the continuation of the story of Herald and Ciri. And then the game comes out, and you instantly buy it. And ... Full **** up. This is not a TLOU. Cool graphics, a normal plot with gray morality, good gameplay, but this is some other game. I am now using the TLOU2 plot in The Witcher World. This is a spoiler ... A dumb pumped woman kills Herald from Rivia at the very beginning of the game, and you are offered to play for Ciri to avenge Herald. When Tsiri reaches the peak moment of his story, you are switched to that dumb woman who killed Herald, and they show that she is exactly the same as Herald. Look, she has the same skills, she has her own Enifer, her own Ciri, we returned the Herald to you, only now he is not a charismatic man, but a boring and not beautiful woman. Rejoice ... Why? How should we like her? That she saved the deer? Oh god ... No. I will not accept it. In general, it lasts another 10-15 hours, and when you reach the peak moment of meeting with Tsiri, you are forced to kill Tsiri with your own hands. Well ****, really? Personally, I just tried to die, but the game made me kill Ciri. This is hell, honestly. Well, the final part is just some kind of cheap Brazilian series.
    In general ... If this story was a separate game, I am sure that the feedback from the players would be good enough. And so. We were deceived ...    … Expand

    A história do jogo é muito bem contada, e sem pontas soltas e a imersão criada nesse jogo através da narrativas, cenários, inimigos e trilha sonora complementa o sentimento que esta imerso no jogo e deve ser algo a ser seguido nas próximas gerações!

    Minha recomendação é para pessoas com mente aberta e maduras, que tolerem o gore, porque ele esta bastante presente no jogo, mas a violência não é forçada, ela existe dentro daquele contexto porque a história leva a esse ponto. E sobre as críticas a homossexualidade, religião, aborto, drogas, etc, não influenciam na narrativa, são temas que estão presentes mas como pano de fundo, é apenas um background que faz parte dentro do contexto social, e não como agenda política como pessoas ignorantes e com mente fechada para novas experiências não foram capazes de absorver o melhor desse jogo, meus parabéns a Naughty Dog e espero novos games com a mesma imersão e qualidade!    … Expand

    The graphics, environment, music, and sound were very nice.
    The gameplay was repetitive and boring.
    The story is a fail and the game drags for too long.
    It is not worthy of 9's and 10's that it is getting. It is a 6-7/10 at best.
    Original Last of Us is still the best and the best Naughty Dog game. It is a damn shame this game turned out the way it did. Biggest disappointment of 2020 games.

    Not everyone is going to enjoy the motives of The Last of Us Part II. But if you try and manage to accept the subliminal and not so subtle messages as a fact that the world has gone awry and that people have the need to have somewhere or someone to belong to as their own way out, then...
